As I mentioned in one of my other responses in this thread, I don't have
a Mac and can only provide general guidance.  First, make sure that
whatever passes for Windows file sharing is enabled on the Mac.  Next,
check that you can use the Windows file explorer on system1 to access
whatever path you want to access on the Mac.  If it doesn't work at this
point, go back and keep debugging until it does.

Once you can use standard tools to access the data on the Mac, you can
drop into Ruby to do your work without any extra effort, similar to
accessing system2.
